I guess just be thankful it was a green cap and not something more rare....that and you have a back up.

Ya. It's a nice cap, purple polyps, but it's more of a landscaping issue if I have to cut it all out :) Kind of wrecks the symmetry of the area. We'll see, maybe it will stop. haha

Green with purple polyp cap?? You didnt say that...got any pics? Cant say ive ever seen one.

Brad sorry to hear but here is my Theory,

month ago you re-scaped your tank taking out the center pillar and fragging and selling some colonies, maybe your green cap got so depressed you killed and gave away his friends he committed suicide?

Ya, I think I have pics somewhere. I'll look around, hopefully there's enough to save a large piece. If not, I have a smaller frag in frag tank.

This is all I have. They look more blue in the pic, but are closer to purple

more than a landscaping issue there... you said green cap making me think it was your run-of-the-mill one. that thing's gorgeous even under SOLs.

Nice one Brad. I have seen that before, called flower petal monti....my condolences

You need to stop reading the hype :) SOLs are just fine lights, the coral looks exactly like it did under Radiums.

even under SOLs...hmmmph

It prolly has a fancy name.. I think it's a Flower Petal Monti.
I have one thats green like that with red polyps.. Strawberry fields Monti.. And then there is a bright green one that has more ridges than folds with orange/red polyps.. Chili pepper Monti.

Wonder who comes up with these names.

brad... My strawberry fields one is one a magnet and has encrusted up onto the glass.. The big petal on the glass is white this morning.. Who knows?
